SLIDE 4 CT metrology: no resolution, but accuracy
- Medical and material applications are satisfied with resolution
- Dimensional metrology requires accuracy and traceability to the unit of length
(the meter) Required accuracy:
- Medical and material applications: none or 10-1-10-2 (1..5%)
- Dimensional metrology: CMM 10-5-10-6 (laserinterferometry 10-7-10-8)

SLIDE 62 Conclusions
- Traceability of CT is challenging
- Influencing factors relate to CT device, measurement
procedure, data processing, object, and environment
- Good measurement procedures, including calibration of
both voxel size and edge offset, can reduce measurement uncertainties by a factor 5-10
